GDPR and NIS Directive – A business opportunity for Cloud service providers

This green paper, aimed at Cloud service providers offering their services in the EU, looks at two key laws that demand information security and service stability: the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the NIS Directive (Directive on security of network and information systems). A number of their requirements can be addressed together, in a streamlined compliance project. Under the GDPR, in Cloud service providers’ role as data processors, there is even an opportunity to turn this demand into a unique selling point: appealing to prospective clients’ desire for security by proving compliance.
